At Emerge Psychology Group we take great care to ensure our practice is trauma-informed, promoting a culture of safety, empowerment, and healing.

Trauma-Informed Care understands and considers the pervasive nature of trauma and promotes environments of healing and recovery rather than practices and services that may inadvertently re-traumatize. It is an approach that assumes that an individual is more likely than not to have a history of trauma, recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms, and acknowledges the role trauma may play in an individual’s life. When trauma occurs, it affects an individual's sense of self, their sense of others and their beliefs about the world. These beliefs can directly impact an individual's ability or motivation to connect with and utilize support services.
